I'm only a couple of chapters into Catching Fire and yeah, the ratio of "feelings" to "running through the woods shooting arrows at bad guys" is trending in the wrong direction so far.
And no llamas yet.
I'm tearing through a re-read (for the no telling how manyth time) of The Silver Chair. For my 5th or 6th favorite book in the series, it's very awesome.
Haven't made much progress in Three Cups of Tea. I'm about halfway through a book about
Ranavalona. It's called
Female Caligula:Ranavalona, the Mad Queen of Madagascar and thus far I think the title is pretty spot on. File this one under "absolute power corrupts absolutely." I'd never even heard of her (this was one of those deals where the book just kind of jumped off the library shelf at random).
I'm also near the end of
Go Down Moses. I read this book years and years ago (early jr high maybe) and I think I'm liking it a lot more now. Homeboy can be a slog to read sometimes, but he's got skills.
I've got a
Richard Foster book on Christian traditions on deck (Celebration of Discipline is great, so I'm looking forward to seeing what else that wacky Quaker has to say). And I think the
sequel to The Magicians has arrived for me at the library.
